WoW is right: A 'World of Warcraft'-themed restaurant has just opened up in Beijing, China. It features a front entrance that is an exact reproduction of the game's opening sequence and menu items inspired by game elements and characters.
Nearly every aspect of 'World of Warcraft' has been implemented into the themed restaurant. There are terminals strategically placed around the restaurant to allow diners to play 'World of Warcraft'--in lieu of an intermezzo, perhaps? The main dining room is called the Hall of Snow Storms and features a giant World Tree at its center.
